  • Publication number: 20210339448
    Abstract: A method for predicting pressures in an injection molding system for molding plastic parts requires providing a mold that has at least one channel with each additional channel having a constant cross-sectional shape along its length and each channel having different thicknesses with a constant cross-sectional shape along its length. At least one first sensor configured to collect pressure data from each channel is provided. At least three second sensors configured to detect the presence of plastic located at known distances downstream of the at least one first sensor. Molten plastic is injected in each of the channels and sensor data is collected for the molten plastic flowing through each channel. A curve is fitted to progressive measured occurrences of pressure at the first sensor when plastic is first detected at each of the second sensors for each channel. Pressure can be predicted for a given flow rate, temperature, and channel thickness at, between, or beyond the measured occurrences.

  • Patent number: 10837298
    Abstract: A turbine nozzle having an airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z set forth in Table 1, and within an envelope of approximately +/?0.049 inches, where the X and Y values are in inches and the Z values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 and convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z values by the height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form the airfoil shape. The X and Y values may also be scaled as a function of a first constant and the Z values may be scaled as a function of a second constant.
